Chapter 208 Mrs. Wilsonâs gaze was complex. After a long silence, she said, âYou know itâs impossible. Because of the accident... Nobody could forget the death of her parents.
Jack knelt before her.âI know,â he said softly. He hadnât been able to control himself. Heâd started with compassion, then it turned into love..
Mrs. Wilson sighed. She must be a good girl to make you feel this way.
âGrandma, you donât know how hard her life has been. Her brothers ignored and suppressed her.â Jack paused.âI thought I was rational.â
âRationality prevents you from entering a relationship, but not from developing feelings.â Mrs. Wilson knew her grandson wouldnât confess unless he truly cared. She grasped his intentions.âLittle Qian, are you telling me this because you want to be with her?â
âYes.â Jack had made up his mind last night. He was in love with Alice. Heâd fight for her. That was why heâd returned.
Mrs.
Wilson playfully tapped him.âYouâre trying to manipulate me again?â âGrandma, I donât need you to do anything. I just need your support.â
Mrs. Wilson considered this.âThe accident wasnât your fault. It was an accident. But that child was unfortunate... I donât understand why the car exploded. It wasnât a serious crash.â If the girlâs parents hadnât died...
Jackâs voice was hoarse.âI havenât told her anything.â He wasnât sure if he had the right, hesitant and struggling.
âIf you like her, pursue her. Show her your sincerity. But tell her your identity and what happened.â
Jack nodded.âI will. Will you accept her then?*
âI donât approve of you being together.â
Jack said nothing. Mrs. Wilson said, âYou shouldnât worry about my acceptance. You should worry if she will accept you after knowing everything.â
âIâll figure it out.â
âLet go, Little Qian. Itâs better for both of you. There are plenty of girls. Why her?â Mrs. Wilson was worried they would both get hurt.
Jack remained silent, finishing pruning the roses. There were many girls, but only one Alice.
He went to John Wilsonâs room. John Wilson, startled, hid something, relaxing when he saw Jack. Itâs you, Brother. Knock next time! I have privacy!â
âWhat are you hiding?â Jack saw the adult magazines.
He sat down. âWhat time is the party tonight?â
John Wilson was excited. âBrother, are you going?â
Jackâs gaze was serious. âYou need to do something. Protect her at the party. Donât let anyone bully er. Understand?â
âGot it! Iâll protect SisterâinâLaw!â John Wilson thumped his chest, then whispered, âBrother, Chapter 2011 Sisterâinâlaw didnât ask anything weird, like me quitting the competition, did she?â Jack patted John Wilsonâs head.âSheâs not like that.â
âThen why d âThen why did she ask that question?â
shouldnât.â
âDonât ask what you sl John Wilson crossed his arms. âBrother, youâre asking me to protect SisterâinâLaw. Be nice! Or I quit!â
Jackâs temple throbbed. He pushed John Wilson onto the bed.
âOw! Brother, youâre murdering me! Iâll tell Grandma!â
Jack said darkly, âWho said to be nice?â
âYou did! Youâre begging me!â John Wilson felt empowered.
Jack dragged John Wilson to the gym. Screams echoed. The staff was used to it.
Soon, John Wilson emerged with a black eye and a limp. Mrs. Wilson and the grandmother were sitting on the sofa. John Wilson cried, âGrandma, Brother beat me!â
Mrs. Wilson said to Jack, âWhy did you hit him again? No more!â
Jack said calmly, âI was checking if his skills had deteriorated.â
âYou just wanted to beat me up!â John Wilson cried to his mother. âYou saw it! Why didnât you stop him?â
Mrs. Wilson, wearing a face mask, was secretly pleased. Finally, someone to deal with the little monster.
John Wilson yelled, âI canât live in this house anymore!â Heâd expose his brotherâs identity at the party.
Outside the party venue, Alice and Guoguo got out of the car, dressed in beautiful. gowns. Guoguo was excited. Iâve never been to a party like this before. So many famous gamers!â
âGet autographs. We can give them to our team members later,â Alice said. She signed in as âCloud Battle Base.â She was there to find sponsors.
People greeted Alice. Daniel, from the Ball team, wanted to sign her, but hadnât succeeded. Daniel approached. âYou want autographs? People want âyoursâ!â
âThese are for my team members. Theyâve improved a lot.â
Daniel sighed. âYou should join my team!â
âDifferent paths.â Alice had wanted to join Cloud Battle. Sheâd achieved it, and now was captain.
Daniel hesitated.âI heard about the Alices. Are you okay?â
âIâm fine. The Alices got what they deserved.â
âSelfârighteous. Alice, youâre getting out of hand.â Alice turned to see Chloe and Caleb. Caleb looked serious. âAlice, now that Iâm Iâm back, need I teach to you Î lesson.â
